5. Beautiful. I was watching for them between 10, when I got out of work,

and 11 when I went to bed.

Of course, what was supposed to be a clear night had clouded up. I was going to try looking later, when I inevitably woke up (haven't been able to sleep through a night all week). Of course, instead I slept straight through the night. And it did clear up at some point. That's about how my luck has been running all summer.

Oh well. The last time, a few years ago, I was working at the same job and on my way home from work I saw red lights behind a pasture on my drive home. Most of the drive and from my house that time it was blocked by trees...
